Knockdown times required to kill 50% of the population exposed. Slope of the regression line ± standard error (SE). Intercept of the regression line ± SE. Chi square value. PD: paper discs. PD1: immobilization of blend of ketone monoterpenes (camphor, menthone, carvone, and fenchone) on paper discs. PD2: immobilization of blend of alcohol monoterpenes (geraniol, thymol, and menthol) on paper discs. PD3: immobilization of blend of alkene monoterpenes (limonene and camphene) on paper discs. PD4: PD1 + citronella oil on paper discs. PD5: PD2 + citronella oil on paper discs. PD6: PD3 + citronella oil on paper discs. PD7: immobilization of citronella oil on paper discs. |
